start creating jewelry is not difficult and does not require expensive equipment, just take a few tools and some technical component to create your first custom jewelry.
Let's see in detail what you need:
- a tapered nose pliers (used to bend the wire creating the rings which are called slots);
- one or two nose pliers dishes (can also be a curved beaks like the one pictured, the important thing is to have the inside of the nose straight, not to leave marks on the metal used to hold the wire and bending it to open and close the rings junction, close Crimp's)
- a small cutter (there are specific but you can use a plain-mail);
- a small metal file, but is also very good a nail file;
- scissors
- adhesive glue.
This is all basic equipment, a small essential kit, now let's look at the technical components that you should get:
- wire (start with silver-plated copper or gold, which is economic get carried away, then you can also use the silver thread, is that both coils in bulk)
- Components for earrings (nuns or pins with butterfly),
- tacks (small pieces of wire with one end flat).
All these components are both easily enough material for jewelry stores, even online, which in large DIY stores and hobby (those looking for the pliers by mail).
Some advice: buy only good pliers, strong enough and the perfect finish, with well-honed nose to prevent scratching of the wire with whom you work, the cutters must be kept sharp even at the tip to allow you to cut the wire in the proximity of a node or a bead, or you can also use a nail clipper, which also allows you to obtain cuts almost perfect, only used these tools to create jewelry, any other could use cracked or scratched. If any of you scratching your pliers were polished with very fine sandpaper or wrap the jaws with masking tape
